The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my GOD, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. Psalm 18-2 Scripture Insight
Scripture Insight By The Fresh Bread Ministry
Beloved, King David was expressing his gratitude to the LORD GOD Almighty for delivering him from the hand of the enemy; for providing him shelter, strength, protection and being his leader in whom he greatly trusted.
We too ought to stand firm on the saving grace of the LORD Jesus Christ our Solid Rock knowing that; “GOD is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.” Psalm 46:1 So when the storms of life come upon us we are able to combat them in the strength of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Do know that we have the assurance that GOD will never leave us nor forsake us; and He will be our fortress, shield and protection from the forces of evil running ramped in this world.
Because the LORD delighted in him, was rewarded according to his righteousness of clean hands. This truth can be found recorded in Psalm Chapter Eighteen verses Sixteen thru Twenty. As King David who was drawn out of many waters and delivered from the strong enemy the Adopted Children of GOD we also have benefitted from being drawn out of the water and delivered from the strong enemy of GOD through our Baptism in Christ Jesus.
When we truly have an encounter with Jesus Christ the Son of GOD, we like King David will be able to say GOD is my Strength, my High Tower, my Buckler, my Deliverer, my Fortress, my Rock, in whom I will trust, He is the horn of my Salvation, but most of all, GOD is the Lover of my Soul.
